Kin and connection: Ancient DNA between the science and the social

该项目旨在利用不断涌现的古代DNA数据，在社会和科学考古之间架起桥梁。它希望通过将遗传数据与亲属关系的社会模型相结合来创造新的知识，将创新的、跨学科的方法应用于独特丰富和有充分记录的史前欧洲考古记录。预期成果包括一个了解过去亲属关系的新框架，以及形成一个新的跨学科和国际研究网络。重大好处包括遗产收藏的价值增加，考古能力建设，以及将澳大利亚定位于古代DNA和考古科学重大发展的前沿。

This project aims to capitalise on the emerging wealth of ancient DNA data to build bridges between social and scientific archaeologies. It expects to create new knowledge by integrating genetic data with social models of kinship, applying an innovative, cross-disciplinary methodology to the uniquely rich and well-documented archaeological record of prehistoric Europe. Expected outcomes include a new framework for understanding past kinship and the formation of a new interdisciplinary and international research network. Significant benefits include increased value of legacy collections, capacity building in archaeology, and positioning Australia at the forefront of major developments in ancient DNA and archaeological science.
